parent not available on new/create action

[semarco]

i have some nested resources, and i check resource authorization with cancan.
in my ability.rb i need to check authorization on the parents rescource, so i set it in current_ability

this works fine, but it seams that on new or create actions the parent is set in IR.

any idea?
thanks a lot,
marco

The parents are set in all actions. Which error are you getting? What led you to think otherwise?

thanks for answering this quick.
your are right, the parent is set on all views, but its not available on all actions in the controller.
i've also just found that when i call association_chain, the parent is available corrrectly on all actions.

class BaseController < InheritedResources::Base

before_filter :trigger_parent_assignment

def trigger_parent_assignment
association_chain
end
end

thanks, anyway!
